Hampton, NH – A new branch of The Provident Bank has opened in Hampton designed by BKA Architects and built by D.F. Pray, both Massachusetts firms.
The Grand Opening reception of the branch was held on March 31, 2010. BKA worked to develop the design of the branch so that the appropriate changes could be made to the building’s exterior while construction was ongoing.
The interior spaces use the palette of materials and finishes as in the other branches. Where beneficial, BKA proposed alternative solutions to specific needs and requests. A unique element to the branch’s design is the incorporation of a gallery space for the display of community artwork that provides a backdrop for the receptions that the bank hosts at their branches. BKA researched and implemented a new LED lighting technology for the gallery. This technology not only provides the
functionality sought, but also works well in conjunction with the other energy saving light fixtures installed in the branch and meets the bank’s goals for being environmentally conscious and energy efficient.
